IMHO, the media does not make money from presenting good news. They either have to show tabloid type stories, ie Wacko-Jacko and the never ending coverage of Natalie Holloway, or have to show a story simply for shock value. That's where the money is. Showing Soldiers on humanitarian missions every day would not get the ratings they need. Terror alert 5 or a story on how the terrorists could poison our water, or our food, or our air, or create a dirty bomb.... etc create more revenue.
